% Arabica Toronto Yorkdale

“ Really good coffee bean. But, inefficiency creates a hype at the door with the crowding. Large % logo and posh decor definitely sets themselves apart from the usual chains. But having to wait 1/3 of an hour (time stamp on receipt 12:02pm, picked up at 12:19) for a latte is something you’d want to have plenty of time and patience for. The crowd at the door were those waiting for their drinks, but makes it confusing for the line up. There were 6 people on staff, and maybe 1 more in back office. I think it needs a little bit more oil to smooth out the operation. ”

“ All "suckers" for coffee should try % Arabica, my favorite Cafe Latte tasted really good, albeit it was to go. And some purist say don't ever take your coffee to go, forgive me, but I had to. Even as it was in a paper cup, our orders were really good, I also almost finished it right away as I always wanted my coffee while it's hot. Try this place when at Yorkdale Mall and let people know of your experience and I'm excited to see that they are also expanding to Square One in Mississauga soon. ”

“ Arabica makes a phenomenal cup of coffee. I particularly love the Kyoto Latte, and on a warm day, I love switching it up and having the sparkling lemonade. The service here is friendly but often on the slow side, though it has over time become faster as the hype slowly wears off and lines have become more manageable. The store is beautiful and feels spacious despite being tiny. If you’re in or around Yorkdale, there aren’t many better options. ”

“ I was awed by 2 things: 1) The smooth and delicious Spanish latte coffee .This is a must try latte if you are a latte lover. 2) Even though the location is pretty small compared to the other chain outlets in the city,the amazing mirror work decor makes the place look so grand. If in Yorkdale get yourself a hearty warm cup to warm up Ur soul with aroma and flavour ”

“ If you're like me and wondering, "How do they afford rent in this crazy mall?" don’t worry. They’ve passed that responsibility on to you. Their coffee? Premium in price. But you know what else is premium? The flavor. Hands down, this is my favorite caffeine spot in Toronto. And even if you're not a coffee person, their matcha ice cream and desserts have your back. Tried their black Americano with a canele? If you haven't, stop reading and go get it. Seriously. Go. Now, about that matcha ice cream. There are two places in Toronto that you must hit for a proper matcha fix: Tsujiri and Arabica. They both serve up incredible matcha ice cream no surprise, since they’re both from Japan. The difference? Tsujiri nails the matcha flavor, but Arabica makes better ice cream. Arabica hails from Kyoto, near Uji, where the best matcha is grown. Still, Tsujiri's slightly bitter, less sweet version has my heart. But hey, this is a cafe, not a dessert shop. So let’s get back to the coffee. Over the past year or so, I’ve tried almost everything on the menu (except the espresso and matcha latte). My personal picks? The Kyoto and Spanish lattes. The Spanish edges it out, just because I like my coffee a little sweeter. Wait, then why do I like my ice cream less sweet? Hmm... If you've never been and live within 30 minutes, it's worth the trip. Oh, and that logo? It’s not a percentage sign. I know it looks like one, but come on. It's a coffee branch with two cherries _. ”

“ I am obsessed with this place. I only just tried it a couple months ago and have been back a few times since. I now understand the lines up,as much I don't like lining up for any type of food or drink this place has become an exception to the rule. I love coffee and really good coffee and this is what I have found here, it's unique and hands down the best coffee I've had to date. It's pricey so this won't be your daily stop in, but for me once or twice a month and I'm good. If you are a serious coffee lover this place is for you. ”

“ I tried the coffee flavored ice cream and loved it! But 6 was quite pricey, especially given the portion size. While the quality is undeniably good, the cost might make it more of an occasional indulgence than a regular go-to. ”

“ One of the best coffees I have ever had. The quality of the matcha and coffee was amazing. I got hot Koyote Latte and hot Matcha latte with oat milk. There was no line when I came just before they opened on Wednesday. ”
